House of Hops — Restaurant in Petaling Jaya

⭐ Food: ★★★☆☆ ⭐ Service: ★★☆☆☆ ⭐ Atmosphere: ★★★☆☆ I recently visited, and while it had some positives, the overall experience was underwhelming.

First, the payment system was inconvenient—you have to pay at the counter, which makes it feel more like a casual café than a proper craft beer spot. For a place that isn’t exactly cheap, I expected a bit more in terms of service.

The atmosphere was cozy, making it a decent spot to grab a drink and unwind. However, the seating options were uncomfortable—you either sit on a chair that’s way too low or struggle with a tall stool that has no backrest. Not ideal for a long, enjoyable evening.

The food was actually good, but it took way too long to arrive, even though the place wasn’t busy. That was the most frustrating part—there was no reason for such a long wait. The service itself didn’t help either, as you have to pay at the counter instead of getting proper table service.

Final Verdict: If you’re just here for craft beer and some snacks, it’s okay. But if you’re expecting a proper dinner with good service, this isn’t the...

There seems to be a beer revolution in KL ATM, with people now appreciating that there's more to beer than Tiger, Heineken and Carlsberg, and House of Hops is definitely one of the places trying to show the 'burbs this.

They carry interesting, harder to find craft beers from all over the world, and are proud of the fact that they don't serve mass production beers. The staff are also knowledgeable and are able to provide tasting notes and recommendations if needed. My friend and I stayed waaaaaay past the closing time, and the poor sod had to wait for us to finish catching up when he could've just shooed us away, of which I'm v grateful for.

My only quibble is that they dont do beer flights or tasting paddles; I feel that it'd be a useful way to introduce novel beers to a curious public. On a personal note, this place is now my parents' new...

Mike and Lily, the owner of House of Hops are super friendly, young and knowlegeable of craft beers. I enjoyed so much the cozy environtment with huge TV for football watching, mini soccer table, and they have 4 taps of draught beer too. Some of their beers ranging from different countries are air flown to Malaysia to ensure its freshness. Owh, damnn good!! I love their different design of craft beer glasses on sales which is nice and limited design🤩. I was so lucky one to be part of their certifies geek on wall.
